This Changes Everything; Occupy Wall Street and the 99% Movement

The Occupy Wall Street movement named the core issue of our time: the
overwhelming power of Wall Street and large corporations— something the
political establishment and most media have long ignored.

But the movement goes far beyond this critique. This Changes Everything
shows how the movement is shifting the way people view themselves and
the world, the kind of society they believe is possible, and their own
involvement in creating a society that works for the 99% rather than
just the 1%.

Attempts to pigeonhole this decentralized, fast-evolving movement
have led to confusion and misperception. In this volume, the editors of YES!Magazine
bring together voices from inside and outside the protests to convey
the issues, possibilities, and personalities associated with the Occupy
Wall Street movement.

This book features contributions from Naomi Klein, David Korten,
Rebecca Solnit, Ralph Nader, and others, as well as Occupy activists who
were there from the beginning, such as David Graeber, Marina Sitrin and
Hena Ashraf. It offers insights for those actively protesting or
expressing support for the movement—and for the millions more who
sympathize with the goal of a more equitable and democratic future.
